My little guy and I both loved this story about what makes us who we are and how much that God really knows and loves us. This would be one of those special books that could be a keepsake that could be read generation after generation. What a beautiful reminder of God's love.

I received an early electronic copy and this is my review.

This is one of the sweetest children’s books I have read to date. It is such an uplifting story. It affirms that God knows everything about us before we are even created.   It also tells children thar even when they are experiencing tough times that God knew about these moments the day they were created. It helps to affirm that God is always with us and will never leave us. We must put our faith and trust in Him. This will definitely be a staple baby shower and children’s birthday gift from our family!

I read this book with my 4 and 8 year old daughters and both loved the story and illustrations. It's a great reminder in these times that God did know what we would face when He made us and He created us the way He did for a purpose. The illustrations are perfect for all ages. The pace of the story is great to keep younger kids engaged and teaches important truths. 
Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book for my honest opinion.

I read this right after reading another children's book that touches on the same subject so to me they felt really similar with slight differences. This is a really short and sweet children's book.

It is beautifully illustrated. Easy to read to small kids.. It teaches our little ones that they  have been created with a purpose, It teaches them how God designed  them  in a very unique way and placed them into their family, giving  children the sence of belongin and purpose. The book helps our kids to understand how God knows them and knows every detail of their life.

This is a beautiful heartfelt book to remind children that they were made with loveand purpose and that they are special, wanted and unique in their own special ways and encourages children to love themselves for who they are as individuals the way God and their loved ones do.

The illustrations are so cute and relatable and I love how they included children from different cultures, abilities and children with disabilities too. 

This is a great book to read with your little one to remind them they are special and loved.

I requested and received an e-ARC of this book from Rory Feek and Thomas Nelson: CHILDREN’S through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

This was a cute book that has Indiana’s dad explaining all the things God did to create Indiana.  I loved the beautiful illustrations; the colours are so vibrant and the illustrator included all races, sexes, and abilities. 
This book would be great for gifting as it also includes a beautiful inscription space on the inside page.

The Day God Made You authored by Rory Feek and illustrated by Malgosia Piatkowska has a beautiful cover with children holding pets, stuffed animals and three children reading books. The illustrations are colourful and show a diverse group of children with different ethnic backgrounds and hair colours. 
Delightful rhymes and a powerful message of love make this the  perfect bedtime storybook, or anytime-book and may easily become a favourite book. Children and their parents will enjoy cuddling up together to discover how God delighted over each and every detail of their lives and personalities as He created them --from the shape of their eyes to the sound of their laughter. I highly recommend this book and plan to buy it for my young niece and nephew. 

*Thanks to Thomas Nelson Specialty Division, Harper Collins Christian Publishing and NetGalley for a temporary digital ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. The thoughts expressed are my own.

Well, I wanted to like this one. I like the title and the art is fine. It's just that the message is sort of generic and not different than other books like this. Sort of....vanilla in the rhymes used. God knew this. He knows that. Well, yes, but I wanted something more personal and connecting with the reader. Just didn't work for me.

Such an encouraging book! THE DAY GOD MADE YOU comforts young readers and adults too, with the message that God created every detail about them for a purpose and with love. Diversity and differing abilities are celebrated! Beautiful illustrations and tender text assure that we are all in God’s caring hands. Author and country singer Rory Feek dedicates this newest book to daughter Indiana, born with Down syndrome, whose mother died of cancer when Indiana was just two. 5 of 5 Stars

An amazing book to share with your wee one.The book imparts self-worth and confidence into children as they understand that God uniquely designed them, placed them in their specific family and orchestrated every aspect of their lives from infancy through adulthood.  Illustrations attract the children as I read it to my 2 year old granddaughter. She was enthralled!!

This heartwarming, beautifully illustrated picture book is full of love and affirmation.  Written in rhyme it is the perfect book to share with your precious little ones to let them know how special they are to you and to God.  It assures each child of their value and worthiness and how each one has a purpose in this magnanimous world that we live in. 

The book imparts self-worth and confidence into children as they understand that God uniquely designed them, placed them in their specific family and orchestrated every aspect of their lives from infancy through adulthood.  Everything about them is under His watchful eye and in His loving care.

Parents, Grandparents and Caregivers will be delighted to share this book with the little ones that they love so dearly.  This book tugs at your heartstrings and binds reader and child together.  It is best served snuggled down and wrapped in lots of hugs and kisses.  I highly, highly recommend this book.
